Shozab Raza (b. 1997, Sialkot, Pakistan) is a Boston-based designer and creative technologist. He currently teaches Generative Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Design Strategy and Software at Boston University, in addition to working as a freelance designer and media artist. Raza’s work explores human-machine intimacy through sensory-rich, interactive experiences. His goal is to create surfaces, objects, spaces, and experiences that bridge the gap between the organic and the synthetic. His work addresses biotechnological evolution, human-machine interaction, speculative design fiction, and the philosophical frameworks of Transhumanism, and Posthumanism. He specializes in computational design, creative coding, fabrication, interaction, sensors, light, and sound design—with traditional media like writing, drawing, sculpture, painting, and theatrical performance.
